Like you, rodents are a type of <a href="https://kids.mongabay.com/what-makes-a-mammal/">mammal</a>. Did you know, around 40% of all mammal species are <a href="https://kids.mongabay.com/tag/rodent/">rodents</a>? Wow!</p> <h5 class="wp-block-heading">Introducing 6 fab rodents: Can you find the matching pairs?</h5> <div class="h5p-content" data-content-id="20"></div> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>Rodents have sharp front teeth called incisors that grow continuously (nonstop). Rodents use their incisors to gnaw food: Imagine a hamster gnawing on a carrot. Gnaw gnaw gnaw. Rodents need to gnaw to keep their incisors from growing too long! </p> <p>Rodents have one pair of incisors on their top jaw and one pair on their bottom jaw. Your front teeth include two pairs of incisors on your top jaw and on your bottom jaw. When you lose your baby teeth, the incisors are the ones that usually fall out first. </p> <p>Rodents live around the world (except Antarctica) in many different wild habitats like forests, grasslands, and deserts. (Rats and mice share our cities and suburban areas too.) Rodents are important in nature – they control plant growth, they turn over soil by burrowing, and they are food for many types of predators. Let’s meet six fabulous rodents that are worth getting to know: </p> <div style="height:30px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <div class="wp-block-columns
